Can you spot the
Palm Warbler among the Cypress knees?
At
different times during the year flocks of tiny little yellow
and brown Palm Warblers migrate through our area. The
Palm Warbler eats mostly insects, but also eats seeds,
berries and nectar from certain plants. We see whole flocks
of them flitting through the trees and bushes, but they
are so small and quick that it is hard to get a photo of
them.
I had
originally listed this bird as a Finch, but a reader pointed
out my mistake. (I tend to oversimplify sometimes - if it's
on the water it's a duck, if it's a tiny bird it's a finch.
You should see how I identify flowers.)
Judy and
I pulled up under a Cypress tree for shade one day and a
Palm Warbler came very close to us, walking on the water
lettuce and perching on Cypress knees. Isn't it a pretty
little thing?
